I used to bank with Washington Mutual. Great bank, great service, free checking, until Chase came along. Now they want to charge fees for everything and I want out!
I want a free checking account with no mimimum balance requirement, BillPay and good customer service. What bank(s) would you recommend? I have a mortgage with Wells Fargo and can qualify for their Portfolio Management Account (PMA), their premier account that comes with lots of free services (eg., 100 free brokerage trades a year, mobile banking, no-fee non-Wells ATM withdrawals, etc). They bought out Wachovia and have a solid presence in Atlanta, where I live, but am wary of large banks. They tend to change their rules every time. My theory is that it is better to be an investor than a customer at large banks. I have also looked at Schwab.
Any advice from personal experiences?
Thanks.
